Lakshmi Sahasranama Stotram

This stotra is from the Skanda Purana where it is being documented as being taught by Sage Sanath Kumara to a set of 12 sages. Here, it also states that Goddess Lakshmi states that even if this stotra is chanted without belief, she would stay for ever in their clan.

Another Maha Lakshmi Sahasranamam occurs in BrahmaPurana in the chapter of description of Kashmir in the chapter on Hiranya Garbha Hrudaya.

One thousand thirty three names are mentioned in the source of this translation, though in the text of the sahasra nama it is mentioned that the names are 1,008 names. Some obvious replications have been merged. Another peculiarity of this publication is that a few prayers to Goddess Lakshmi have been added in the middle of the sahasranamam and have also been included in the Namavali.

For the great chant of one thousand names of Mahalakshmi the sages are Ananda, Kardhama, sons of Chikleendra, the meter is Anushtup, The power behind is Vishnu Maya the goddess addreesed is the divine Mahalakshmi and this is being chanted to get the grace of Mahalakshmi for fulfillment of wishes and getting g of all wealth.

I always meditate that Goddess who has the form of pleasure and salvation,
Who takes that form which is dear to the God, Who is the form of divine joy,
Who knows everything, who is the mother of all,
Who lives on the chest of Lord Vishnu and who is very merciful.

Oh Goddess who is giver of auspicious things,
Oh Consort of Shiva, Oh fulfiller of all wishes,
Who is to be fit to be surrendered to,
Who is the mother with three eyes,
Oh Goddess who is white, Oh Narayani, we salute you.

Puna punar namosthesthu sashangam mayutham puna

We salute you again and again,
And offer pranams touching the floor,
Ten thousand times.

Mahalakshmi who is the consort of Lord Vishnu,
Glowing coolly like billions of full moons of autumn,
Thus praised by Brahma, Rudhra and other devas,
Gave new enthusiasm to the devas by her very cool glance,
And with heart full of joy gave several boons,
To them as well as to those who salute her,
To those in pain, those depressed and those who have lost everything.

Even those who do not follow the Dharma of the followers of Vishnu,
And those who did not follow my penance and do not have devotion to me,
Can chant my names with the thought that I should be saluted.

Even those children of the poor, man besieged by bad luck,
Man without initiative, Man who does not do work,
Man who is handicapped and also the own who is down trodden,
Will all definitely become lucky due to my grace,
For I am waiting to shower blessings on such a one.

People should tryto keep this as secret and read it secretly,
And if this is read on eighth or fourteenth or ninth crescent of the moon,
Or on Friday, new moon day or full moon day or on festival days,
Or chant it daily, they would get all their desires fulfilled.
